Photoimpact 10 - Help to remove it?

Hello folks,
I have Photoimpact 10 software pre-installed on my Packard Bell laptop. I have tried to remove it using add/remove but with no success. It is so annoying because as soon as I click on a photo it launches the software. Any ideas in how to remove it?
Looking forward to your replies.

Hi Stella
If you can't remove it, why not just stop image files opening it when you click on them.
If you are using Windows XP, just right click on an example file (doesn't matter which as long as it's the right 'type' (e.g. JPEG, TIFF or whatever). Click on Properties (at the bottom) and then near the top of the next box it will say "open with" and gives you the option to change the program this file will be opened with. Here you can then choose Photoshop or whatever
Hope this helps

Hi Barrie,
Thank you so so much for taking time out to answer my query. This problem has been bugging me for months now. The solution was so simple and I just did not think of simply changing properties lol. A definite case of could not see the "wood for the trees".

I think you'll find to remove this programme you need to click on the un-istall icon within the programs folders. However having tried to remove it using windows you may have deleted this or other files and it might not un-install even using this option, the only way around it to install it again and un-install it properly..
